To Mary Milroy From RH Milroy July 6 1864

RHM_uc44-July6-1864_1a

I recd your enclo
sing one from Ella a few days ago.
Tell Ella I was much pleased
with her letter & that she is imp-
roving in writing very much. I hope
she will write often. I left Tullahoma
yesterday morning in company with
my My Medical Director Dr. McCle-
len (who was surgeon of the 135th Inc)
& come up to Murfeesboro yesterday and
stoped there with Brig. Genl. VanCleve
who commanded my 1st Brigade. I road
around with him examining the great
fortifications & looking at the battle
field of Stone River till dark. Gen.
VanCleve was in the battle then &
wounded. He is an excellent old man, is
very pious & a West Pointer. I came on
here today. I left Murfreesborro at 5
oclock this morning & got here at
9 A.M. I went to the paymaster &
drew my pay for June $433.15. And
enclosed I send you $300.00 to be
appropriated as you think best.
